My wife and I hired Michael Cottone and his son Blake Cottone (Journey Remodeling) to build an…read moreaddition on our house. We had to terminate him for breach of contract and are now in a legal battle with them because of their actions. They did not complete the work in compliance with the TX building code. Neither Michael nor Blake would supervise the work being completed so we had to correct/direct their own workers. Michael's own engineer on the project inspected the work and provided us a multi-page report detailing how Michael did not have the structure built to the engineering specs. If you are going to hire this firm--or any other firm run by Michael Cottone or Blake Cottone, my wife and I recommend you: - insist they provide you proof of insurance bond before you let them on your property - specify the scope of work MUST BE COMPLIANT WITH TX BUILDING CODE - schedule your time so that you can actively supervise his team and his subcontractors because they will not. - inspect everything they do as it progresses to ensure you know it was done to spec.

Hello Michael. Our names are Eric and Vickie Bufkin, and you worked on our property in Johnson…read moreCity. I do not know specifics of the Hites job, but the review in Google sounds exactly like our terrible experience with you, your son, and your company. Here are those points: 1) we had to terminate you for breach of contract; 2) you did not complete the work in compliance with TX building code; 3) neither you nor Blake supervised the work being performed; 4) you said you had insurance, but you did not. The following points address your response to my review. The only licensed inspector on our property was you (at least we believed you were licensed because you said you were, despite the various work on our job not done to code). None of your employees or contractors who worked on our job were licensed. The electricians and plumbers were your employees, and they were not licensed. To my knowledge, the tile, concrete, painting, and framing subcontractors you used are not required to be licensed. By the way, you may recall that one of your framers confessed to us that you had ordered him to complete part of the framing out of compliance with building code. You may also recall, we ordered you to fix it. As for our overall experience with Journey Remodeling, I could spend hours describing astonishingly unprofessional behavior, repeated dishonesty, unskilled and apathetic workmanship, days and weeks of no work performed, and our property being strewn with beer cans and garbage. In short, I advise everyone to avoid Journey Remodeling. When I have a few minutes, I'll post photos that I shared with you and our lawyer back when I terminated you. Stay tuned.

I would definitely recommend Sylvester for your next home improvement project.

Austin and his team did an AMAZING job. My mom was looking for contractors around the area and I…read morereached out to Austin since we used to go to HS together. I was a bit nervous since we were friends but Austin was extremely professional in every aspect and truly exceeded all our expectations. The estimate was fairly reasonable but the work was fabulous. They spent a day prepping the area and arrived everyday at the same time. Never left a mess while they return the next day to continue. Austin and Hector even moved back our grill and furniture back to their original spot after the job was completed. Austin worked diligently in getting each of my estimates within a timely manner. Making payment was also very easy. It's the little details that don't go unnoticed. We are already working on our next project with CT Builders. I'll update this review once the project is completed. Shoutout to Austin, Hector and Benjamin for going above and beyond. My mom won't stop raving about the completed work and how professional they were. 11/10.

His team did a first class job on a whole house remodel of a 1937 historic district home and addition of an garage apartment. The job was done with relatively few delays and came in on budget.

I have worked with Doug on three projects - this last one and owner and architect and have been impressed each time with his ability to sucessfully complete the job with a thankful and happy client in the end. I look forward to working with his team again. Donna Osborn, Architect
